What is Pelvic Pain?

Pelvic pain refers to any pain experienced in the lower abdominal region, including the area between the hip bones. It can be acute or chronic, intermittent or constant. Pelvic pain can impact both men and women, although the causes and symptoms may vary.

Possible Causes of Pelvic Pain

Pelvic pain can stem from various underlying conditions. It is essential to identify the cause correctly to determine the most effective treatment approach. Some potential causes of pelvic pain include:

• Endometriosis: A condition where the lining of the uterus grows outside the uterus.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Infections in the urinary system that can result in pain and discomfort.
• Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID): An infection of the reproductive organs, primarily caused by sexually transmitted infections.
• Ovarian Cysts: Fluid-filled sacs within the ovaries that can lead to pain if they rupture or become enlarged.
• Interstitial Cystitis: A chronic condition characterized by bladder pain and urinary urgency.
• Urethral Stricture: Narrowing of the urethra, leading to urinary difficulties and discomfort.
